I only want to win over the fairy.

Can my tricks really be considered a successful path to becoming an emperor?

Bai Yi didn't quite understand. Strictly speaking, he hadn't actually become a Great Emperor. He had only forcibly made up for the gap between himself and the Emperor Realm by relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao when he was at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, and at a very high cost.

The blood energy of an Emperor Realm cultivator is extremely strong, so strong that it cannot be suppressed by anything other than a celestial object. Forcibly elevating one's own blood energy from the Dao Integration Realm to the Emperor Realm comes at the cost of shortening one's lifespan to less than ten years, a practice that can be described as overdrawing everything.

But if the emulator says so, then so be it.

Who wouldn't take advantage of a good deal?

Unfortunately, with his junior sister by his side, he had to take care of her constantly to prevent her from making mistakes while practicing her skills. Naturally, he couldn't fully immerse himself in the game, so it was better to play it through text.

However, this time I won't look for Gou Ba Jiang Yuehan. Liu Bei only invited Zhuge Liang three times, so there's no need for me to hang myself on one tree.

After a month of daily tutoring your junior sister, you decide to go down the mountain for a trip. Since you have a mission to find spirit fish and create a hot spring for your master, you easily obtain permission.

[On your journey, you encountered demonic cultivators from the Eternal Night Cult. Despite the vast difference in strength, you barely managed to defeat one group, but were captured by several other groups of demonic cultivators who arrived shortly after. They were quite excited to see the Xuan Tian Sect uniform on you and immediately used a teleportation array to escort you back to the Eternal Night Cult headquarters.]

Bai Yi: "???"

Damn it, are you Eternal Night Cult idiots? Why don't you stay in your own home and come to the vicinity of my Xuantian Sect?

Not only did you sneak near my Xuantian Sect, but you also captured me and even specially escorted me back to headquarters. What have I done to deserve such treatment?

Normally, someone like him, a mere Qi Refining Realm ant, would either be killed or taken to a nearby branch as a sacrifice and brought back to headquarters if captured by a demonic cultivator. Such treatment would only be applied to high-ranking individuals, such as saintesses or elders.

Very well, I'll remember this grudge.

Now, the Eternal Night Sect's enemies in my little notebook are second only to the head of the Jiang family.

[After being brought back to the Eternal Night Cult headquarters, you weren't subjected to severe torture. Your storage ring was taken, you were locked in a cell, and your spiritual power was sealed with special shackles. At night, will you take advantage of the absence of others to break free of your shackles and sneak away?]

What a load of rubbish!

I'm in the enemy's headquarters, my equipment has been taken, and my spiritual power has been sealed. How do you expect me to escape?

Even if I break the seal, I'll just be someone who gets easily caught and brought back as soon as I go out; it's useless.

Knowing you couldn't escape, you didn't resist. Instead, you hoped the sect would discover your disappearance soon and rescue you. You waited for several days, but the sect's help never arrived. Neither your master nor the other elders of the sect had any news.

Where are my teammates? Where are my teammates?

Please help me! I've been missing for so long, isn't anyone going to help me?

Bai Yi felt very complicated when he saw this. His master, Xiao Jinxuan, who was known as the strongest fighter in the Xuan Tian Sect and was feared by countless people, was nowhere to be seen from beginning to end. It was both surprising and reasonable.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. In these simulations, that master was completely useless. He was just like that immortal king Anlan, all talk and no action, but when it came to a real problem, he was of no use at all.

Oh wait, at least An Lan can boast about her superiority, but her master seems to have nothing to brag about.

It seems that another lesson needs to be added to the training for my junior sister Su Qingyu: when you encounter a crisis, never expect your master to come and save you, because she is always busy with something else.

Just as you were about to despair, the Grand Elder of the Eternal Night Cult appeared, asking if you knew anything about the upcoming Imperial Weapon. Completely clueless, you were utterly bewildered, much to the Grand Elder's disappointment. You were the highest-ranking person they had captured recently; their next targets would likely be the Holy Maiden and other elders.

[Because of your outstanding appearance and the fact that you were able to break through to the peak of Qi Refining without spiritual roots, the Grand Elder is quite interested in you, considering you a prodigy, and asks if you would like to join the Eternal Night Sect and become his disciple.]

Should I join the Cult of Eternal Night?

"join in."

Bai Yi wasn't stupid. If he didn't agree, he would lose his life here. Besides, joining the Eternal Night Sect didn't mean he had betrayed the Xuan Tian Sect.

As a transmigrator, he wouldn't be bound by some boring rules. He was a disciple of the Xuantian Sect and a disciple of the Yongye Sect, highlighting his flexibility.

[You kowtowed to the Grand Elder, frankly stating that you had spent half your life wandering in vain, only regretting not having a worthy master. You asked if the Grand Elder would not mind, and expressed your willingness to join his ranks and serve him faithfully. Seeing your steadfastness, the Grand Elder immediately accepted you as his disciple, imparting to you the core techniques of the Eternal Night Sect, and personally guiding you on issues related to techniques and cultivation.]

[Your comprehension and understanding of the cultivation technique have amazed even the Grand Elder, further confirming her belief that you are a promising talent. Therefore, she pays extra attention to you, even dedicating three hours each day to tutoring you specifically.]

[Several months later, when it was discovered that your cultivation was stuck at the Qi Refining stage due to the lack of spiritual roots, the Grand Elder immediately went to the Deep Sin Nest of the Eternal Night Sect, where traitors and enemies were imprisoned, and killed dozens of cultivators, extracting their spiritual roots and placing them one by one before you, allowing you to choose for yourself.]

Bai Yi: "...."

I settled in Bengbu.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Compared to this Grand Elder, my master, who accepted me and gave me the cultivation technique, was always elusive and liked to be launched by me on a flying sword, was like a veil over the head!

Is it too late to leave the Xuantian Sect and join the Yongye Sect?

Chapter 19 Artificial Spiritual Root?, Zanpakuto √

Bai Yi never expected that after he merely offered his verbal surrender, the Grand Elder of the Eternal Night Sect would be so willing to impart all his knowledge, to the point that it was almost outrageous.

Could this elder be plotting something?

Although he had never had any contact with the Eternal Night Cult, Bai Yi knew quite a bit about it. After all, when it came to demonic cults in the cultivation world, the Eternal Night Cult was the first one that came to mind.

As the leader of the demonic sects, the Eternal Night Sect is naturally a force to be reckoned with. Its raw strength is enough to rival any of the Nine Great Immortal Sects. It is not afraid of even the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, the leader of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, but there is a prerequisite: that the Nine Great Immortal Sects do not use imperial weapons.

Yes, although the Eternal Night Sect is the leader of the demonic sects, this sect has never produced a Great Emperor, nor even an Emperor Weapon.

As everyone knows, a sect with an Emperor Weapon and a sect without one are two different things. Even if a sect with an Emperor Weapon has declined, as long as it has one to guard it and as long as a prodigy appears, it has a chance to rise again. But if a sect doesn't have one, then it is truly finished.

However, none of this has much to do with Bai Yi, since the sect's imperial weapon wouldn't be lent to him anyway.

Looking at the numerous spiritual roots that the Grand Elder had plucked, you gasped, for among them was even a Heavenly Spiritual Root. However, you didn't transplant these roots, knowing they didn't belong to you, but you didn't intend to waste them.

Understanding that you ultimately need your own spiritual root, you decide to use these spiritual roots as materials to develop artificial spiritual roots or external, special devices that can replace them.

The Grand Elder, upon learning of your idea, did not oppose your fantastical notion. On the contrary, she was quite supportive and told you that you could tell her anything you needed. As she left, the Grand Elder murmured to herself, "Perhaps this child truly can shoulder the future of the Eternal Night Cult."

Despite your initial resentment towards the Demonic Sect, as time went on, you discovered that although the Grand Elder was the Grand Elder of the Demonic Sect, he was quite friendly to his own people, and even treated you, a disciple he had casually taken in, as his own son. This caused you to unconsciously lower your guard against him.

Pshaw, she succumbed to such a small temptation. She's too trusting in the simulator.

Although this Grand Elder was indeed more responsible than his own master, a disciple cannot have two masters, and in reality, he certainly wouldn't so easily immerse himself in the allure of the Demonic Sect.

Moreover, given that they had only known each other for such a short time, it was hard for Bai Yi not to suspect that there was some kind of conspiracy involved.

They definitely intend to cultivate me and then use me as a furnace, or as a bargaining chip to threaten the Xuantian Sect.

Just as Bai Yi was about to criticize the Demonic Sect and point fingers from his moral high ground, he noticed that the Grand Elder's portrait had changed. He was no longer the one who was always wrapped in a black robe and whose posture was impossible to see.

There stood a white-haired woman with a broad mind. Her delicate brows conveyed a hint of danger, madness, and loneliness. Her scarlet eyes, while carrying terror and sharpness, also concealed a touch of gentleness and sorrow.

That extremely dangerous aura, combined with a faint sense of loneliness, and the fact that he treated her exceptionally well, instantly put Jiang Yuehan, who also had white hair and red eyes, far ahead of her.

Without a doubt, the Elder is the character who most appeals to my tastes so far. She possesses outstanding qualities that no one else has. Although she is already a BBA (BMW, Benz, Audi), as long as she is good-looking, her age can be easily overcome!

Don't underestimate the Chinese people's tastes. As long as something looks good to them, they'll eat it, no matter what kind of sword, gun, ship, animal, or flower or plant it is!

From this day forward, I am a steadfast disciple of the Eternal Night Cult and a loyal follower of the Grand Elder. Anyone who dares to speak ill of the Grand Elder will face my wrath!

With a high-ranking elder as your backer, your research has progressed rapidly. After more than a year of dedicated study, you have finally developed a device that can bind to a person's soul and body, replacing their spiritual root. However, due to your immature technology, you cannot make it into a small ornament. So, you had a flash of inspiration and chose to turn this device into a weapon.

[Because this device is bound to the user and influenced by the user's own soul and body, its shape will also change and has no specific form. It could be a sword, clothing, or even another version of yourself. Since you cannot control its development, you can only accept it as a characteristic of the device.]

The materials used to create this device are quite simple, requiring only spirits, phantom stones, and your reincarnation power. Essentially, it is a product of the fusion of your reincarnation power and your soul.

This thing... isn't it a Zanpakuto?!

Bound to the soul, it changes according to the user's own soul and body, and can also be used as a weapon. What else could this be but a Zanpakuto?

The second game was the Archbishop route, the third was the Twisted Enp, and the fourth game was directly the Grim Reaper, following the Nimaiya Oetsu route?

It seems quite interesting.

No one can resist owning their own Zanpakuto. If so, it would be the Kamen Rider Driver, the Doom Blast Gun, the Hideaki Dai, or Ultraman's transformation device!

[Due to the properties of this item, you named it Zanpakuto. With an item that can replace your spiritual root as an aid, your cultivation has accelerated, and you easily broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.]

In October of the 1147th year of the Myriad Immortals Calendar, the once-in-a-century Immortal Palace Secret Realm opened. The Myriad Laws Immortal Sect invited cultivators from the nine major immortal sects to participate in the trials, and the Eternal Night Sect, being a demonic sect, naturally also sent disciples to participate in disguise.

[In the secret realm, a disciple of the Eternal Night Sect clashed with the son of the Second Elder of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. He then set a trap and killed the son, enraging the Second Elder, who immediately found all the Eternal Night Sect disciples present and killed them one by one, thus permanently severing ties with the Eternal Night Sect.]

Seeing the prompts on the simulator, Bai Yi immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. The Eternal Night Sect was called a demonic sect, so it was naturally not a simple sect. It was impossible for them to suffer this loss and remain silent.

There's an unspoken rule in the cultivation world: the older generation tries not to interfere in fights between young people. However, killing someone's son in front of them is indeed unacceptable. But the problem is that this Second Elder's act of wiping out all the Eternal Night Sect disciples present was a bit too much.

Without a doubt, the Eternal Night Sect and the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect are destined for a battle.

In February of the year 1148 of the Myriad Immortals Calendar, the Holy Maiden of the Eternal Night Sect led her followers in an attack on a branch of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. However, the enemy was well-prepared, and almost all members of the Eternal Night Sect were wiped out. Even the Holy Maiden of the Eternal Night Sect was captured alive.

what?

Bai Yi slowly typed out a question mark.

No way, lady, you can't just feed kills like that!

Chapter 20 I Sliding Over

Bai Yi didn't know much about the Holy Maiden of the Eternal Night Cult. The information he occasionally received was from other people's casual conversations, and he would forget about it as soon as he heard it.

Even in the simulator, he didn't get much information about the other party; most of the time, he only knew their name but not their person.

But now it's all right, he knows.

The first major conflict between the Eternal Night Sect and the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect was not a crushing defeat, but rather a complete and utter loss.

Of all the saintesses I've ever seen, the Eternal Night Saintess is definitely the most pathetic one, and in that respect, I'd call you the strongest!

After all, he had never seen a saintess lead the way to her death. Even if Jiang Yuehan's performance was lackluster, it was because she had lost her position as saintess and all her cultivation, and she did not lead her subordinates to their deaths.

Fortunately, none of this had much to do with Bai Yi. He didn't know the Holy Maiden of Eternal Night, so his death was no big deal, as long as it wasn't the Grand Elder who was in trouble.

Moreover, even if the sect members are foolish, they should know to plan carefully after a bad start and not to attack rashly.

Upon learning that the Holy Maiden of Eternal Night had been captured alive, the Lord of Eternal Night immediately appealed to the Palace Master of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect and personally went to the sect, hoping to turn hostility into friendship.

In May of the 1148th year of the Wanxian Calendar, the leader of the Eternal Night Sect perished. The sect's power was subsequently suppressed by numerous other immortal sects, led by the Wanfa Immortal Sect. In an instant, the once-powerful Eternal Night Sect was reduced to a pariah, its former glory vanishing.

Bai Yi: "...."

Your emulator is malfunctioning!

What boss would be stupid enough to go to the enemy's lair for a feast when there's a grudge? I'm so stupid that I just slide tackled them and fed the tigers on the other side!

As we all know, the reputation of a sect is basically upheld by the sect leader, the elders, and the holy maiden (holy son). Now that the Eternal Night Sect's sect leader is dead and the holy maiden has been captured, it's as if they've been cut off in the very beginning.

Fortunately, Bai Yi had spent three years in the cultivation world, and his temper had become much milder. If it were in his previous life, you would be lucky if he didn't give you 15 points and immediately quit to start the next round.

So, what should we do now?
